CONDITIONS OF SALE. 



This is a bona-flde public sale, for prompt cash settlement, and irrespon- 
sible persons who are not sure whether they can pay for what they bid on, 
are asked not to bid. The cataloguer has taken special pains to describe each 
lot accurately. Errors will be corrected, but he reserves the sole right to de- 
cide upon any claims. No corrections or refunds will be made, and no lots 
can be returned, unless the bidder submits his case in writing within 30 days 
of the date of the sale. 

Coins and medals are sold at so much per PIECE, and no lot will be sep- 
arated. The auctioneer will accept any bid up to 50c, then 5c up to $2.50. 
when 10c. advance must be bid, up to $10.00, when no advance under 50 
cents will be accepted. If there are 5 pieces in the lot and you wish to pay 
$5.00 for the entire lot, then bid $1.00. 

Auction sales are strictly for cash. Parties unknown to me and bidding 
for the first time, must give bank or other reliable reference, or their bids 
will not be executed. 

Forward your bids as early as possible, as thousands of bids have to be 
entered. Do not make ridiculously low bids, such as 10c. and 15c. on foreign 
silver coins worth several times over as bullion. Write your bids plainly, 
with a pen if practicable. 

Where the number of pieces in a lot is not given after the description, 
there is but one piece in the lot. 

Be sure you hid on the lot you wish to buy. 

All coins, etc., are genuine unless otherwise described

to bid, please write the cataloguer, THOMAS L. ELDER.

PREFACE. 

The late Henry C. Miller, Esqr., was born on May 19th, 1844. He 
was educated at, and graduated from, Williams College in 1867. His death 
occurred very suddenly on February 5th this year. As a numismatist, 
he must be considered one of the best in America. From his unosten- 
tatious and quiet manner one was not apt to imagine to what a wide ex- 
tent he had entered into this pursuit of Numismatics. Feeling no doubt 
that his end might come at an unexpected moment he had for the past half 
a dozen years gradually offered the various series in which he was inter- 
ested, selling them all through myself in my sales. I always regarded it as 
an especially high compliment that I retained from a first acquaintance with 
JMr. Miller, some fifteen years ago, his fullest confidence. So that it was 
no great surprise to learn that shortly before his death he had told his 
sister, Miss Miller, that if anything happened to him to take his collection 
at once to me for disposal at auction sale. The notations he left on some 
,of his coin envelopes showed that as early as the '70s he had purchased 
some of the coins offered in this very sale. His classical tastes lead him into 
;the realm of education, and he once was the principal of a private school 
in this city. As early as forty years ago he had made trips to Europe, and 
on those trips had gathered coins from all quarters, from Rome to London, 
and from Paris to Thebes. The magnificent set of heavy early Ptolemaic 
bronze coins in this sale was obtained by Mr. Miller personally in Thebes. 
His interest in English coins, and especially in the early Anglo-Saxon issues, 
was very keen and the remarkably fine and large collection of these, includ- 
ing many of the very rarest issues, shows to what an extent he indulged in 
their collection and study. A brief list of some of the rarest of the early 
English silver pennies in this collection shows the following monarchs rep- 
resented: Offa, Coenwulf, Coelwulf, Burgred, Cuthred, Wulfred, Coelnoth, 
Eadmund, Siefried, Cnut, St. Peter, St. Edmund, Egbert, Aethelwulf, Aethel- 
hert, Aethelred I, Alfred the Great (quite a number), Edward The Elder 
,(with two perhaps unique), Aethelstan, Aedmund, Eadred, Eadwig, Edgar, 
Harthacanute, Harold I, Harold II, etc. The mediaeval and later British 
coins present an unbroken line of rulers from Edward The Confessor down 
;to George V. The copper coins, dating from the reign of Elizabeth, are 
especially choice for rarity and preservation and include two different un- 
circulated farthings of Anne, also some choice patterns of the Georges. 
The Georgian half pence and farthings present the best lot I have yet seen, 
with a proof half penny dated 1729, as well as the error farthings and half 
jpence of Charles II, George II and III, all of which are mentioned in Mon- 
tagu's Book on the subject of British Copper Coins. The ancient Roman 



section is perhaps the most important of all, for it contains over a thousand 
catalogue lots of coins with many well known and finely preserved examples 
of the denarius, the first, the second and the smaller bronzes. Unusual things 
are plentiful and a list of the most remarkable includes coins of Antony 
and Cleopatra, Brutus ("Eid Mar" denarius), Julius Caesar (many varie- 
ties), Pertinax, Didius Julianus, Pescennius Niger (2 varieties, both ex- 
tremely fine), Titiana (second bronze), Gordianus Africanus, Sr. and Jr., 
Tranquillina, Quietus, Marius, Magna Urbica, Nigrinianus, Domitius Domi- 
tianus, Romulus, Hanniballianus, Vetranio, Jovianus, Procopius, Eugenius. 
Flavius Victor, Jovinus, Theodahatus, Gunthamundus, Theodoric, Witiges, 
and many unusual Byzantine pieces. There are a host of third and smaller 
bronzes of about all the late emperors with many uncirculated. 

The feature of the American Colonial and Continental coin collection 
is, , first of all, the magnificent collection of the coins of Connecticut, with 
four varieties of the Granby Three Pences of John Higley. The Connecticut 
series was a special favorite with Mr. Miller, and his book on the subject, 
about to be printed by the American Numismatic Society, is the result of 
his interest in this group. His collection has in it choice examples of the 
Sommer Island coins, the Lord Baltimore Shilling and Six pence, the Chal- 
mers Annapolis Three Pence, (an uncirculated example); an extremely fine 
Carolina Elephant Half Penny, the Superior of the one I sold in 1907, in the 
Gschwend Sale; a large collection of the Massachusetts issues with a plenti- 
ful line of the N.E., Oak and Pine-Tree Coins, and some choice cents and 
half cents of that state. The Fugios, Nova Constellatios (with one proof), 
the New York cents, the large collection of Pennsylvania half pence, the 
Vermonts, the New Jerseys and the fine Washington Collection of coins and 
Patterns, all contribute to make one of the finest coin sales ever held in 
the United States. 

The few remaining choice books include a full set of Cohen's last edi- 
tion, a set of Babelon's work on Roman coins, Crosby's Early Coins of 
America and other desirable items. All coins are guaranteed genuine. 

In order to not crowd the selling, and to make deliveries more simple, 
the sale will be held in four sessions, on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and 
Saturday, May 26th, 27th, 28th and 29th, commencing each day at 1:30 
o'clock in the afternoon. The terms will be strictly cash, and the sale con- 
ducted as per the requirements printed in the catalogue giving full particu- 
lars as to its conduct. The catalogue has been conscientiously compiled ex- 
clusively by myself, and considering the rather short time allowed for its 
preparation, I hope it will be found of interest, and something worth keep- 
ing for future reference.

SECTION I. 



EARLY BRITISH COINS. 

Note. — According to Ruding, the earliest coin which can be attributed 
to any British monarch, bears upon it the letters SEGO, possibly for Se- 
gonax. He was one of four petty Kentish monarchs who by the command of 
Cassivellan, attacked Caesar's camp upon its second invasion of Britain. But 
there is no doubt that the Britons had coins of their own prior to Caesar's 
time, and the early staters and copper pieces give certain evidence of having 
been copied after Greek models, particularly those of Philip II of Macedon, 
the same influence which is seen in the curious Gaulish tetradrachms. So 
the rude horses pictured on the following coins were mainly poor imitations 
of Philip's coins. Roman letters and figures are found also. After Cuno- 
beline's time the British coins disappeared while Britain was under Rome's 
dominion.

EARLY BRITISH SILVER COINS. 
SCEATTA. 

Period. A. D. 700-750. 

Note. — "The earliest coins of the Anglo-Saxon Series are small pieces 
in gold and silver known as Sceattas; the word Sceat signifying Treasure. 
Some have no inscription, others have legends in Roman or Runis charac- 
ters. The locality of issue of the majority has not been determined. The 
early types are derived from Roman and Frankish coins, but the later ones 
appear to be of native origin. — The silver vary in weight from 15 to 20 
grains." See B. M. Catalogue of Coins of Great Britain and Ireland.

ANGLO-SAXON KINGDOMS. 

Regarding the following remarkable set of silver pennies, Ruding states 
that the term Penny was first mentioned in the Laws of Ina, King of the 
West Saxons, who began to reign in A.D. 688. The word Penny is written 
in several ways, and its form, but not its type, was adopted from the Carl 
ovingian Denier. The Saxons valued it at the rate of 240 to a pound of 
silver. This number would give 24 grains for each coin. Large sums were 
computed by Pennies alone. Finds of early English pennies have been made 
at various times. Some rulers or varieties are exceedingly rare, or unique, 
and valued up to around a thousand dollars apiece. We offer in this col- 
lection the best lot which has ever been offered to the American market 
at public sale, and collectors should take full advantage of their opportunity.

STYCA SERIES. 

Note. — Ruding states "two of these small copper stycas passed for a 
farthing, showing the need of a coin of very small denomination. The name 
was derived, by Lye, from Sticce, minuta pars, because this money was of 
all others the smallest." They were struck by only a few kings and arch- 
bishops. They are very small, thick pieces of about the weight of the silver 
penny. A few come in base silver.

SERIES n. MONEY OF NECESSITY, 1689-1691. 

Popularly Known as "Gun Money." 

Note. — According to B. M. Hand-book its value was merely nominal, 
and the issue was not to be continued for any length of time. The metal 
in old brass cannon was used in their manufacture, whilst in Ireland the 
popular name was "Brass Money", any of the Crowns were restruck on 
the large half crowns. The gun money issued during the four months from 
July to October, 1690, was coined at Limerick by James's adherents. The 
six pence was the earliest of this coinage and was first struck in 1689. See 
illustrations in British Museum Handbook Plates LXII and LXIII; also 
Mailliet's Monnaies Obsidionales Et De Necessite PI. LXI. While the B. M. 
Handbook gives June as the first month in 1689 that the six pence was 
struck, which denomination it further states was the earliest one of these 
coins struck, kindly note that we have in this collection a six pence clearly 
dated January, 1689, and others of earlier dates than June, 1689. T.L.E.

Note. — These half pence, according to B.M. Cat., 
were struck at Limerick after James's flight and 
during the siege of that place. They were common- 
ly called "Hibernias" and generally restruck on gun 
metal shillings of both sizes."

SECTION n. 

THE COINS OF ANCTENT ROME. 

SILVER COINS OF THE ROMAN REPUBLIC. 

OF DENARIUS SIZE UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED. THE COINS ARE 

CLASSIFIED ACCORDING TO THE SPLENDID WORK BY M. 

ERNEST BABELON, OF PARIS, DES MONNAIES 

DE LA REPUBLIQUE ROMAINE. 

A FEW WORDS ON THE DENARIUS. 

! "This coin," says Stevenson, "derived its appellation a denis assibus 

(from ten asses), for which it used to be exchanged, weighing a pound 
each, as they did at the time when silver first began to be coined at Rome, 
namely, in B.C. 269. According to Pliny it was established that the de- 
narius should be given in exchange for ten pounds of brass, the quinarius for 
five pounds and the sestertius for two pounds and a half. 



ROMAN SILVER 41 

In B.C. 217 when the As was reduced in weight to one ounce, it was 
established that the denarius should be given in exchange for sixteen asses, 
the quinarius for eight, the sestertius for four." Various writers have 
compared the denarius to Greek drachms in their relative value, and indi- 
cate that the two coins had about the same value and weight. Under the 
successors of Augustus they were reduced far below their original weight. 
The principal types of the Family Roman denarii are those bearing the 
helmeted head of Rome and a quadriga on the reverse. Mr. Ackerman, 
a well known English numismatic writer, quoting from St. Matthew, where 
,we find in the twentieth chapter and fifth verse the words "a penny a day", 
observes, "the penny here mentioned was the denarius which, at the time 
of our Lord's ministry was equivalent in value to about seven pence half 
penny (15 cents in U. S. money) of our (English) money. With the decline 
of the Roman Empire, the denarius was by degrees debased, and the later 
Emperors who issued them sometimes plated copper over with tin or silver 
to make them pass for the origintl denarii. "This reduction went on, after 
the division of the empire, until the denarius, once a beautiful medalet, be- 
came a coin of very inferior execution, low relief, and reduced thickness and 
.weight. The term denarius is yet preserved in our (English) notation of 
pounds, shillings and pence by L. S. D." In olden times in England "a 
penny a day" appears to have been "the pay of a field laborer; whilst among 
the Romans (see Tacitus Abb. lib. 1. c. 17) the daily pay of a soldier was a 
denarius!" 

So there is nothing new under the sun and history repeats. The coin 
referred to in St. Matthew by Jesus Christ was the denarius of Tiberius, 
one of which may be found in perfect preservation in this collection. The 
following collection of denarii is the largest and finest ever offered in the 
United States.

JULIUS CAESAR. 

Undoubtedly one of the very greatest men in all history. He was de- 
scended from Ascanius, otherwise called lulus, son of Aeneas. He was the 
son of I. Julius Caesar (praetor) and born about B.C. 100. His mother took 
an affectionate interest in him and he was greatly attached to her. 

At as early an age as 22 he was considered an orator second only to 
Cicero and his early life was filled with most important events and exper- 
iences. He was sent as Questor to Spain, and on seeing the effigy of Alex- 
ander the Great he shed tears. In B.C. 69. Cicero and M. Antony being 
consuls he was elected or declared Pontifex Maximus. During the years 51 
and 50 he conquered Gaul. In the war with Pompey he passed the Rubi- 
eon and drove Pompey with the Consuls into Greece. He passed into Rome. 
After his victory in Thessaly, in B.C. 48, he was elected, or created, Dicta- 
tor for a whole year, an honour which was every year renewed. He followed 
Pompey into Egypt and found him dead. There he fell under the snare of 
Cleopatra VII and undertook a war with her brother Ptolemy, with a view 



52 ROMAN SILVER 

of giving her sovereignty over Egypt. He took Alexandria and put Ptolemy 
to death. Then he gave Egypt into the hands of Cleopatra. Appointed 
Perpetual Dictator (See his coins for this famous inscription DICT. PERP.) 
for the fifth time, with Marc Antony as his consular colleague, while plan- 
ning a campaign against the Getae and Parthians he was assassinated in the 
Senate house in the "Ides of March" (See Denarius of Brutus — Rx. Poin- 
ards, cap (of liberty) and EID MAR) by a conspiracy of republicans, orig- 
inated and carried out by Brutus and Cassius, dying in the 56th year of 
his age. Stevenson says of him he was "A man, above all others, marvel- 
ously accomplished in the arts of both peace and war; one that whom an- 
tiquity cannot produce a more distinguished example. Noble and command- 
ing in person, of lofty stature and fair complexion, his black eyes were pierc- 
ing, and his whole countenance replete with expression. At the close of his 
career he carried with him something which vexed him greatly, a bald head. 
He was delicate in constitution but followed temperance in eating and drink- 
ing. He possessed a wonderful intellect, expressed somewhat in his "Com- 
mentaries." All our college boys are familiar with them especially the 
noted fifteenth chapter of his "Gallic Wai's." He fought fifty pitched battles, 
and by his personal bravery has said to have on several occasions turned 
the tide of battle. He was moreover very merciful to the conquered, even 
granting them honors on occasions. Stevenson says his good fortune never 
deserted him. He had an ambition to attain the empire of the world. His 
ambition led him to attack and conquer nations simply for conquest's sake. 
Finally he turned his arms against his fellow countrymen and won his last 
honors at the point of the sword. His coinage is numerous and covers a 
varied and most interesting series, the following of which are good examples.

54 ROMAN SILVER 

Note: — Stevenson refers to this remarkable and exceedingly rare coin 
as a "numismatic monument", for it "was the instrument of transmitting 
a record to the most distant posterity." Eckhel in describing it begins — 
"En pugiones, & c, "observe the daggers employed in the perpetration of so 
fell a murder brought before our eyes, on this coin, weapons, which, under 
the specious pretext of liberty, Brutus hesitated not to stain with the blood 
of that Caesar, to whom personally he owed so much; in the same deed a 
patriot and a cut-throat. We have the statement of Dion Cassius that this 
denarius was struck by order of Brutus himself, & described by himself 
as follows "And also on the coins, which he caused to be struck, he ex- 
hibited a likeness of himself, and a cap and two daggers; intimating by 
this type, and by the legend, that conjointly with Cassius, he had restored 
his country to Liberty." The inscription EID MAR, indicates the fatal day, 
the ides of March, on which the bloody deed was done — . The above tes- 
timony of Dion decides the question as to who it was that caused this de- 
narius to be struck; and the time was that at which Brutus passed into Asia 
to join Cassius, after having rendered himself master of Macedonia and a 
part of Greece." Stevenson describes the two or three examples known to 
him, and states that as early as 1848 this noted coin brought over 10 
pounds sterling; and in another instance over 15 pounds.'' He reminds his 
readers also that these prices are ridiculously low for perhaps the most 
noted historical coin of antiquity. The cataloguer figures also that if the 
two or three known examples at that time brought 15 pounds, their sheer 
commercial value at the present ought to be six or seven times those sums

lituus and sacrificial vase on the reverse refer to the augural priest- 
hood of Lentulus Spinter, who after the murder of the Dictator, 
openly declared himself a partisan of the conspirators. Cassius 
came of one of the most distinguished families in Rome and was 
one of the assassins of Caesar.

AUGUSTUS. 

Adopted son and heir of Julius Caesar and first Emperor of Rome, the 
title conferred on him B.C. 27 by the Roman Senate, in acknowledgement 
of his services to his country. Born 6 3 B.C. In B.C. 42 he defeated Brutus 
and Cassius at Philippe, being aided by M. Antonius. In B.C. 40 he gained 
a decisive naval victory over Sextus Pompey. In B.C. 35 0ctavianu6 quarell- 
ed with M. Antonius, who had divorced his sister Octavia and married Cleo- 
patra VII of Egypt. Having assembled under his banner all the legions of 
the East, he attacked and totally defeated his former colleague and only 
formidable rival in a sea fight near Actium. In B.C. 30 he proceeded with 
an army into Egypt and captured Alexandria. Mark Antony and Cleopatra 
then committed suicide, leaving Augustus sole master. For these victories 
the Roman Senate made him Imperator. He died in A.D. 14, in the 76th 
year of his age.

He was the son of Valerian by his first wife. Emperor with his father, A.D. 
253. Assassinated 268. A contemptible character. It was during this 
reign that so many generals declared themselves emperors, and these are 
designated as "The Thirty Tyrants.". He was killed while besieging in 
Milan the new competitor, Aureolus, being assassinated by conspirators in 
his 50th year. Every vice imaginable was charged to him. It is to be noted 
that from the reign of Septimus Severus to Gallienus the silver standard 
was reduced. The above and the others following of Gallienus are billon, 
copper, or bronze plated with silver.

Note. — He was the son of Constantius Chlorus and Helena. Was 
Caesar in 306 and Augustus in Britain. In 311 he embraced the Christian 
religion, and became sole emperor in A.D. 323. Quitted Rome for Byzan- 
tium in 330, which he named Constantinople. He died 337. He evidently 
suffered from an exaggerated ego, judging by some of his acts and the so- 
called "visions" he imagined he saw while traveling along with his army. 
One of these was his "discovery" of the PX sign, or seal of Christ. As a 
matter of fact numismatists have proven he borrowed this PX vision from 
Ptolemy III or the early Bactrian Kings, as this monogram is clearly seen on 
their coins of several hundred years previous to his time. In fact we have 
them in this very sale. His "In Hoc Signo Vinces" and his PX visions were 
truly "dreams."

CEBACTH. Rx. Victory holding wreath to left; divides L — A in 
field. Cohen No. 1. Struck at Alexandria. (Priced by Cohen at 
300 francs, so it is one of the rarest of all Roman coins.) Fine and 
patinated. Plate. 

Note. — This person was so little known evidently 
that Stevenson makes no mention of her in his bio- 
graphical notes of rulers of the Roman Empire. It 
is the first example of any sort of coin of her that we 
have ever seen, and it is absolutely genuine.

Note. — Married Gordian III in A. D. 241. "Young beautiful and in- 
telligent, '' says Stevenson, she graced — the illustrious elevation to which 
Gordian had raised her. She survived her murdered husband, but her lot 
in life afterwards remains without record. Of this Empresses coins there 
were but few in bronze, and none in gold. The silver and first and second 
brass are of the highest rarity. She is styled, as on the above coin: Sa-

of Diocletian's generals, who declared himself em- 
peror at Alexandria, whilst in command of the Im- 
perial legions in Egypt. Mionnet says "Of this Domi- 
tus Domitianus, the name, fate and career are equal- 
ly unknown. But on the reverse of the medals ap- 
pear the letters ALE, which shows they were struck 
at Alexandria."

declared Caesar by his father when he had completed his first year, and 
Augustus a short time after; and dying in A.D. 309 his father placed him 
in the rank of the gods, all his coins being struck in honor of his consecra- 
tion. An unique gold medallion exists of this boy. On the reverse is a temple 
having on its top an eagle with spread wings, with the motto AETERNAE

at the murder of Constans by Magnentius, A.D. 350, and he then assumed 
the title of Augustus at Sirmium. Constantius II marched with his army 
to meet him, and on a plain near Serdica, Constantius II, appealing to the 
assembled armies that he was a son of the great Constantine, Vetranio took 
off his diadem and abdicated. Constantius treated him with kindness and 
allowed him to retire to Prusa, in Bithynia where he spent the remaining 
six years of his life" (Stevenson).

Note. — Of this obscure empress Stevenson says "Magna 
Urbica whose coins in every metal are extremely rare, 
has by some been ascribed as the wife of Maxentius, 
by others of Magnentius or Decentius; by others again 
of Carus and Numerianus; but Knell and Eckhel as- 
sign her to Carinus."

Note. — A youthful radiated head appears on the above coin. Stevenson 
says the third brass coins are of great rarity, coupled with the appellation 
of DIVUS. The type of the gold coin is a funeral pile with a biga placed 
on the summit. History makes no mention of Nigrinianus, who is known 
only by the coins above alluded to. Tristan supposes him to have been 
the son of the tyrant Alexander, who reigned in Africa during the time 
of Maxentius. Other writers state he was a son of Carinus, and with much 
probability Arria Nigrina for his mother. He apparently died during his 
youth and these coins were issued as a memorial. Both Eckhel and Mionnet 
quote the gold coins from the museum of Saxe-Gotha.

this must have been an error since her good husband was called "The First 
Christian Emperor of Rome". Such conduct on his part would not have 
been considered entirely christianlike.

"This copper was coined in Birmingham, England, 
in the year 1785, and was probably the work of 
Wyon. The obverse U.S.A. monogram was used on 
old Continental buttons, and was copied from them."

THE WASHINGTON COINS AND TOKENS. 

Mr. Crosby states little is known of the origin of these coins. How- 
ever the letters "T.W.I." (Thomas Wyon) give a pretty sure clue, seen on 
one of the Liberty and Independence cents of 1783. There is more evidence 
of the English origin of most of these pieces. On the W. & J. Taylor card, 
bearing on one side a kangaroo, and offered below, the reverse of the 
Washington small bust cent of 1783 is used. Taylor also had a card with 
the same seated figure on the reverse but with no reference to the United 
States. The one reading UNITY STATES is said to have been executed in 
France by someone who had little knowledge of our language or institu- 
tion, as the simple word UNITY has been misused. The following will be 
found a most interesting lot in remarkably fine condition, most of them got 
by Mr. Miller in England, and three very rare pieces are included.

PENNSYLVANIA HALF PENCE AND FARTHINGS. 

Commonly known as "Bungtowns." Made in England in Imitation of 
Various European and English coins, bearing chiefly the heads of George 
II and III. Some are satirical or humorous in type and inscription. The 
series has been treated toy tooth Messrs. Crosby Atkins and L. H. Low. The 
following is one of the largest collections, and one of the finest, ever offered 
in American sales. They circulated largely among the early German colon- 
ists in the eastern part of the state, in fact the cataloguer has hardly met 
with a single example in Western Pennsylvania, where he resided for many 
years. And a good many of them never left England. On July 14, 1781, 
Joseph Reed, President of the Supreme Executive Council of the Common- 
wealth, issued a proclamation stating that "divers ill-disposed persons have 
manufactured or imported into this State quantities of base metal, in the 
similitude of British half pence, but much inferior in value and weight to 
genuine British half pence to the great depreciation of that coin, the injury 
of the community in general, and the poor in particular — and we have, 
therefore, thought proper to prohibit, and do hereby strictly enjoin all of- 
ficers — not to receive such base coin in any payments whatsoever — and do 
earnestly recommend to all the faithful inhabitants of this State to refuse 
it in payment — and to make due inquiry after offenders in the premises, that 
they may be brought to speedy and condign punishment." Mr. A. R. Frey, 
a well known writer on numismatic topics, in his Dictionary of Numismatic 
Terms, states in speaking of the word "Bungtown," that it is a name given 
to clumsy imitations of the English half pennies, which circulated exten- 
sively in Pennsylvania and other states in the latter part of the eighteenth 
century. The name is probably derived from the slang term 'to bung — 
meaning to cheat or deceive' ".

NOTES ON THE COINAGES OF NEW JERSEY. 

"On the 19th of November, 1681" says, Crosby, "there arrived in New 
Jersey a party of emigrants from Dublin, Mark Newby and his family being 
among them. Newby lived on the farm an Newton, since owned by Jos. B. 
Cooper, Esqr., where many of the St. Patrick half pence have been plowed 
up. Newby brought with him a quantity of those pieces known as St. 
Patrick's Half Pence which, owing to the scarcity of small money there, 
were, in the ensuing May, made current in that State under certain con- 
ditions expressed in the act by which they were authorized — . The date 
and origin of these pieces are enveloped in mystery, and various opinions 
have been expressed upon these coins. Evelyn an old numismatic writer 
gave the first published account of them in 1697, thinking them Irish coins. 



134 AMERICAN COLONIAL AND CONTINENTAL COINS 

Bishop Nicholson placed them among the coins of Charles I; another 
expressed the opinion that 'they were struck in the time of Charles I by the 
Papists, when they rebelled in Ireland and massacred the Protestante." 
They were struck also in rare cases in silver, the cataloguer having had 
examples in that metal. 

As to later coinage, we note that by enactment of a law for the estab- 
lishment of a copper coinage, in June, 1786, Walter Mould, Thomas Goads- 
by and Albion Cox, were authorized to strike and coin in copper, for that 
stated sum to the value of ten thousand pounds, at fifteen coppers to the 
shilling — the coppers to be of pure copper and of the weight of six penny- 
weight and six grains. There were two mints in the state, one located at 
Morristown and the other at Elizabethtown. Walter Mould was an Eng- 
lishman, who had been employed at minting coins in Birmingham, England. 
In the coinage of the New Jersey coins a screw with a long lever was used. 
This information is positive as Mr. Lewis Condict saw the mint in operation. 
Mr. Bushnell wrote in 1855 from Morristown, describing the mints and 
stated that they were then standing. Mr. Bushnell further stated that a 
Mr. Hatfield claimed to have made dies and coined New Jersey Coppers in 
a barn, below Elizabethtown, in striking which he was assisted by a negro — 
Mr. Bushnell presented an affidavit (copy) signed by one John Bailey stat- 
ing he "had not made any New Jersey coppers after April 15th, 1788" indi- 
cating he had made some before that. Dr. Maris has treated this subject at 
length in his work on the cents of New Jersey, and has illustrated most of 
the coins. His book is referred to in the classifying of the following col- 
lection, made by Mr. Miller. 



COPPER COINS OF NEW JERSEY. 

Mark Newby Half Penny and Farthing. 

1730 Half Penny. Obv. a crowned king facing to left, playing the harp. 
Above the harp a crown . FLOREAT REX. Rx. St. Patrick with 
trefoil, in his right hand and a crozier in his left, surrounded by a 
crowd of people. At his left is a shield charged with three castles, 
(on some resembling six flaming altars) ECCE GREX (no punc- 
tuation on the reverse side. For this rare coin very fine. Evi- 
dently struck in very soft copper so that it rarely comes above 
good condition. See Crosby Plate III, No. 8, but this example 
differs in having no period before ECCE. Plate.

holding a crozier, driving snakes and reptiles before him; behind

PLEBS: Fine. See PI. III. No. 9. Fine. Plate. 

Note. — Crosby mentions 22 dies of the obverse, and 
23 of the reverse, so this variety must have been 
plentifully struck, although it is far from common at 
the present time.

THE REGULAR SERIES. 

These coins are of but a single type, but of many varieties of the type.

is a plow. Legend: NOVA CAESAREA. In Ex, the date, 1786, 1787 or

1799c 1737. Three Pence. Same type as last, but a variety, seen in the 
letters of the word PLEASE. In this example the letter I is more 
distant from P than in the foregoing example, and it differs from 
any shown in Crosby's plates, the letters in the word PLEASE 
being widely separated from each other. Very fair. Exceeding- 
ly rare, the obverse might be termed good. Plate. 

NOTES ON THE LATER COINAGES OF CONNECTICUT. 

In October, 1785, we read in Crosby's Early Coins of America, author- 
ity was granted to Samuel Bishop, Joseph Hopkins, James Hillhouse and 
John Goodrich to establish a mint for coining coppers "not to exceed in 
amount of Ten Thousand Pounds lawful money in Value of the standard 
British Half Pence, to weigh six penny weight, and to bear the following 
impression or Stamp (Viz.) a man's head on the one side with Circum- 
scription in the Words or Letters following, (Viz) AVCTORI: CONNEC: 
and on the other side the Emblem of Liberty with an olive branch in her 
hand with a circumscription in the Words and Figures following (Viz) 
INDE: ET. LIB: 1785: " — these men to pay into the Treasury of this 
State, at the end of every six months, one twentieth part of all Coppers by 
them coined or Manufactured at said Mint" etc. "The Hon. Henry Meigs, 
late of New York, deceased, informed me (Mr. Bushnell) in 1854 that the 
Connecticut coins were made in a building situated under the Southern 
Bluff, near the centre of the north shore of the harbor, in New Haven," etc. 
The building was a small frame house, and he thinks was painted red. Mr. 
Broome superintended the mint, not more than three of the employees were 
seen at work at one time. Both members of the firm would sometimes dis- 
tribute some of the coins among the boys, among whom was my informant. 
The coins were struck by means of a powerful iron screw." 

CONNECTICUT CENTS FOR YEARS 1785-88. 

Especial interest attaches to the splendid collection of Connecticut 
Cents which follows, because Mr. Henry Clay Miller had completed, just 
before his death, an exhaustive and detailed description of these pieces. 
This work, together with similar articles on the state coinages of Vermont 
and Massachusetts by Mr. Hillyer Ryder is being published by The American 
Numismatic Society as Part I of Volume 53 of the American Journal of 
Numismatics. This book will be invaluable to collectors of these import- 
ant eries and, by stimulating their collection will greatly enhance their value. 

(The Elder Coin & Curio Company offers this new work of Mr. Miller 
on the Coins of Connecticut, For Sale for $3.00 per copy).
